SAN JOSÉ, CA - Today, Mayor Liccardo was joined virtually by community partners and small business owners to highlight resources currently available to small business, and to encourage residents to continue to #ShopLocalSJ to help the backbone of our community weather the pandemic. The Mayor also cautioned of the upcoming deadline to submit COVID related insurance claims, on March 16, 2021.
"COVID has devastated our small businesses—and they need our help, now," said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo. "I'm grateful that Paul Caputo, Esq has stepped up to help those businesses unable to receive the help they're owed by their insurance companies. We can all do our part, as many San Jose residents have demonstrated through their commitment to #ShopLocal to help our neighborhood shops, restaurants, and salons keep their doors open."
Struggling small business owners who have unsuccessfully sought payment from their insurance companies for "business interruption," as described in their general commercial insurance policies have until March 16, 2021 to submit a claim with their insurance provider, per statute of limitations from the onset of the original Santa Clara County stay at home order. The City of San José does not have authority in this area, and can neither offer any legal advice, nor recommend any particular attorneys, however, the Mayor has reached out in his personal capacity to discuss this matter with a private attorney, Paul Caputo, Esq.
